| - This review is for their smoked whole turkey and mashed potatoes that ordered to be picked up on the Thanksgiving Day. This review is not for their daily bbq.
The turkey was packed very nicely, with a nice pan and covered by several layers of foil and plastic wrap to keep the moist in. However, the bird itself is flavorless, dry and simply the worst turkey I have ever tried. Only 1 out of 7 guests liked it in our thanksgiving party. When I ordered it, I was told by the cashier that it was the best turkey she had ever had. She was simply lying to me or she was so unlucky that hadn't had any good turkey in her life. I would definitely not order the turkey from them anymore. By the way, their turkey is about $70. A nicely packed, expensive, dry and plain bird.
And, I ordered a half size pan of mashed potatoes from them, which cost me $25+. And it did not come with gravy, and is not tasty at all. But it was better than the bird.
I also ordered another turkey and a half size pan mashed potatoes from Bojangles ($9.99!). I was not expecting this but the mashed potatoes from Bojangles was way much better than the SmokePit. The Bojangles turkey was slightly better, not dry at all with a little flavor, and priced at $39.99. I probably would not order from them in the future as well but they are a much fairer choice.
As a conclusion, let me mention that the pickup service at the SmokePit was truly great. The only thing made me upset was their food.
